    Not sure if it’s because I’m on mobile or not but this isn’t loading at all for me. Anywhere else to see the variant?

     

    nvm. Found it on Instagram 

  2. Take out the first 3 min and leave the last 4 and it’s a great track. It’s not terrible and could work well as the album closer. I’ll wait for the rest to judge it more.

     

    side note. Has anyone else noticed Aaron’s voice change from a few years back that he’s kept? It started with his solo stuff and I can’t stand it. He just sings different on his parts compared to previous UO records. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it bothers the hell out of me. His last solo album was murdered by it.

  3. Y’all saying you couldn’t get into Parallel Lives have me scratching my head. It’s fantastic.

     

    This song feels like a great blend of Bloom and Breathe and PL. Instrumentals like B&B and lyrical/voice direction of PL. Song is pretty much perfect and only getting better each time I listen to it.

     

    Also, Gates has this really great way of making me feel like their music is a physical representation of my thoughts and feelings. It’s always an emotional experience for me. Hard to describe but maybe some others feel the same.

  4. I’m still deciding how I feel about it. Need to listen another 3-4 times. I’ve got an 8 hour drive to Denver today so pretty perfect timing for that.

     

    As far as first impressions go I’m leaning towards Bailystok being my favorite track right now. Surprisingly the singles are the stronger songs on the album imo.

     

    I wouldn’t say this is up their with Nearer My God or Dealer but it’s probably better than The Albatross. I only say that because of the experience and maturity in song writing.

     

    At Least We Found The Floor sounds like their best take on a The National song.

     

    I’d say it’s good but not my favorite. It’s not terrible like some were expecting after the singles.

     

    Edit: Surprisingly Speak With The Dead is the best song in the context of the album and I DID NOT like that song very much until now. I think I would have enjoyed a whole album in the vein of that song more than this.
